Storage Suggestions ?

[Triathlete]

Check out Green Dragon's photo gallery. Grandpa Bob had a pretty sweet set up that not only stored a lot of stuff but could also be used to sleep on or would be a great flat platform for the pooches (as long as they are not to tall).

I found a plastic storage basket at WalMart that's about 81/2 x 121/2", 5" deep (interdesign basket medium). One fits behind each front seat (adjusted all the way back) & is handy for all the whatnot.

My rear storage box design prolly wouldn't be so good, as it's not flat & incorporates an amp, sub, scuba tank & enough tools to do anything short of an engine rebuild.

And yes, I've been known to drag way too much stuff around with me.

Ldub-

I've thought about looking for something like that. WalMart's right across the street from work, guess where I'm going today.
Do they have lids?

Also...did you say scuba tank??

No, no lids on those...& yes, I carry a 50 cf scuba tank as an off road air source.
It's come in handy a couple times for airing up tires & running air impact wrenches.

I'll post pics this afternoon.

yea ive been thinking a lot about making the VX completely flat... problem is its such a wierd shape and the floor isnt flat there either, just cant get motivated to start it because i feel like its not gonna look good because getting that strange shape just right will be pretty tough.. and it will limit how much the front seats recline...

Silly me...tryin' to figure, "where the *#@! is this guy in FARGO scuba diving??" First, they're canoeing in Nevada...(who knew?)... Now, Dub's Scuba divin' in the biggest BEAN field, I've ever seen....Damn, I learn something here every day! Nothin' personal Dubs... I've only crossed N.D. once, in 91 or 2. All I can remember is bean fields that ran horizon to horizon, thinking, "God took an iron to this place", around Bismark, and one exceedingly cool place in Theodore Roosevelt Natl. Pk.. Wayne

That's right Wayne, one thing we got lots of is FLAT!!!
Having the land of 10,000 lakes about 45 min. due east, I thought it would be a good idea to drag all my diving gear home from Hawaii back in 93...turns out, the only good thing about lake diving, is not having to rinse the salt outta your gear...
VERY boring when you're used to 100' vis. & coral reefs full of brightly colored fishies... . Not to mention the occaisional whale shark, white tip, manta ray,etc...but I digress.

Back on topic, here are a couple BAD pics of my box with the lids open & closed...very few trail side repairs that can't be dealt with.

That's a nice set-up there Dub.

So I've been in 2 Walmarts in 2 days and a couple of other places, and nothing yet.
I suppose building something would yield the best results.

hmmm

I saw that a while back, and looked at it again last night...that was VERY cool.

I would only need about a 3rd of that though.
I'm not opposed to constructing something myself
